In this "perfect 'fix' for the thriller aficionado" (Associated Press) and #1 New York Times bestseller, maverick FBI detective Amos Decker must forge an uneasy alliance with the Defense Intelligence Agency to prevent an international incident that could spell the end of the United States as we know it.

Amos Decker witnesses a murder just outside FBI headquarters. A man shoots a woman execution-style on a crowded sidewalk, then turns the gun on himself.

Even with Decker's extraordinary powers of observation and deduction, the killing is baffling. Decker and his team can find absolutely no connection between the shooter -- a family man with a successful consulting business -- and his victim, a schoolteacher. Nor is there a hint of any possible motive for the attack.

Enter Harper Brown. An agent of the Defense Intelligence Agency, she orders Decker to back off the case. The murder is part of an open DIA investigation, one so classified that Decker and his team aren't cleared for it.

But they learn that the DIA believes solving the murder is now a matter of urgent national security. Critical information may have been leaked to a hostile government -- or worse, an international terrorist group -- and an attack may be imminent.

Decker's never been one to follow the rules, especially with the stakes so high. Forced into an uneasy alliance with Agent Brown, Decker remains laser focused on only one goal: solving the case before it's too late.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"A compelling puzzler...Baldacci is a truly gifted storyteller, and this novel is a perfect "fix" for the thriller aficionado."―Associated Press

"The set-up for THE FIX is one of the best this master of the thriller has ever come up with, and there is no letdown as Amos and his associates dig into an increasingly bizarre case ...[Baldacci's] plotting is more masterful than ever, and THE FIX is nothing less than terrific from start to finish."―Connecticut News

"Crackling with tension...Reads at a breakneck pace...Bestselling author David Baldacci delivers a thrill ride, as always. Big time. Pick up THE FIX, and you won't put it down until you reach the end. Guaranteed."―BookReporter.com

"[Baldacci] continues to show why he is a master of mystery."―The Florida Times-Union

"Cleverly perverse full of surprises and touched throughout by the curious sense of congeniality."
―Toronto Star

The twists and turns of the fix keep readers guessing and on the edge of their seats. From one theory to the next us circuitous and exciting. Just when you think you have it figured out… it turns yet again.It is a very entertaining read! A

This book, The Fix, is the 3rd in the series. Do yourself a favor and start with book one, Memory Man. You won't be sorry. The main character of this series is as unique and complicated as Sherlock Holmes or Hercule Poirot.

Two events made him who he is. First, a devastating brain injury on the football field that left him with perfect recall. He remembers everything he has seen, heard or experienced in any way.

The second event, the murder of his wife and daughter now remain as vivid in his remarkable memory as the day it happened.

The writing is excellent. The plotting is excellent. The characters are believable and and well drawn. The stories are complex page turners.

Start at the beginning with Memory Man. You won't be sorry. I repeat. What's not to like?

I am a David Baldacci fan and was immediately taken by his first book of this series, Memory Man. I later bought and completed the 2nd book of the series, The Last Mile. This is a brief review of the most recent book of the series, The Fix.

I should mention that I am a cheapskate - I often use Kindle Unlimited to select books as it is cheaper. Only when it is likely to be a great book will I spring $15 for a book like this. I was not disappointed.

What this book shares with the previous two books is a well conceived plot, unknowable twists and turns, while still remaining plausible for someone who has essentially a perfect memory (which the protagonist has, due to a freak accident) . He (Baldacci) also does a good job linking and yet separating these books for people who read either in order or out of order.

I hate books that don't maintain internally consistency and Baldacci delivers the goods. The plot in The Fix was quite complicated, seemingly starting as a simple murder / suicide and broadening in to a much more convoluted (yet plausible!!) story.

Taking in events from real news, The Fix was up to the minute.

What sold the story to me though, was the heart and soul of the characters. They seemed like real people to me... Characters with dreams, desires, who made mistakes, and lamented what they said or did to each other. This was the aspect of the book that took a good story and made it great... character development.

I enjoyed it immensely and if you are into who done it's, then I think you will too.

This book just felt different than the previous two.

I have a lot of books. I get them from places used. I have hundreds of them. I put them all in an indoor storage place. I don’t read them that much. I got an iPad pro, with the large screen. I now read every day.

Something I love doing, is looking online at upcoming books. I have so many pre ordered. I saw The Fix one day on iBook’s. I read what it was about. I did not see anything that said you had to read previous books to follow it.

Then, my mom one day tells me she found two books for us to read. You see, we started each getting a book and reading. So we can chat about it. Anyway, the book was The Last Mile. I read it, then saw that is was a series and that I had pre ordered one of the books in it.

I next got us each Memory Man. I read right after Last Mile. I love both of those books.

You read about Amos Decker. A man who had a chance at something, but, after one quick moment, lost his chance. Then, he loses two things that are much more important. He starts to fall apart. We see him at his lowest. Through actions that happen, he starts to get his life back together. All while dealing with wounds from the past and trying to live as a different person, then he previously was.

The first two books were amazing. I got so into each of the characters. The writer does a great so of showing cause and effect. You get some story, move on and come back to things that you read, which have a way of continuing when the time is right.

They are two of the best books I have read.

Then, I read the third one. As sad as I am to say, the third, was by far, my least favorite.

First, there seems to be a lot of things happening, just so there can be things happening. Some of the stuff you read and want to go somewhere, but it never does. It is like filler.

Then, the story gets to a point. I told myself, I sure hope this story, does not get too big for what it is. Sadly, I feel as if it did. There is something that happens that just, honestly, it made me feel like I had started reading a continuation of the Decker series, then started reading a different story. It did not at all fit with the first two books.

After that, the end is one of the worst endings I have read. It just comes out of nowhere. Now, it does have to do with things that happen. But, it just feels like an afterthought. Like the main thing in the story, overshadows the ending. Then, after the ending, there are a few chapters. They made things even worse.

Finally, there are SO many things that happened in this story, that had no conclusion. It just left me feeling like I had read something that was incomplete.

I will get every book in this series. I already have two other books, from another series of his. I got them for my mom as well. Great writer, great story, just did not feel like it was put together well.
